Main
Text: In the course of the CAISO’s
consideration of the application of Trans Bay Cable LLC (TBC) for status as a
Participating Transmission Owner (PTO) for the Trans Bay Cable Project, TBC and
other affected stakeholders identified the need for a CAISO Tariff amendment
regarding cost recovery of Low Voltage Transmission Revenue Requirement (LVTRR)
for Low Voltage Transmission Facilities of non-Load-serving PTOs (NLS PTOs),
like TBC.
The CAISO held a stakeholder meeting
on July 7, 2006 to discuss the issue of cost recovery of LVTRR for Low Voltage
Transmission Facilities of NLS PTOs.
Since no definite resolution could be reached at the meeting, the CAISO
and the meeting participants agreed to form a voluntary LVTRR Stakeholder
Working Group to flesh out a proposal for ISO Tariff clarification (or
amendment).
The LVTRR Stakeholder Working Group
held a conference call on Thursday, July 13, 2006. The Working Group agreement as to how
the CAISO Tariff should be amended is
summarized in a white paper posted on July 18 for comments by stakeholders at
large: http://www.caiso.com/1837/1837de3c115d0.pdf.
The CAISO plans to request CAISO
Governing Board approval of this proposed Tariff amendment at the August 3, 2006
Board meeting. Please send your
comments on the posted white paper to LVTRR@caiso.com by July 21, 2006 for inclusion
in CAISO Board memo.
